Intended Use

The RadiForce MX270W is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc. by trained medical practitioners. The device is not for use for screening or diagnostic mammography.

Device Description

The RadiForce MX270W is a color LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 2560 x 1440 pixels (3.7MP) with a pixel pitch of 0.233 mm.

Since factory calibrated display modes, each of which is characterized by a specific tone curve (including DICOM GSDF), a specific luminance range and a specific color temperature, are stored in lookup tables within the monitor, the tone curve is e.g. DICOM compliant regardless of the display controller used.

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including MX270W based on several QC guidelines. The RadiCS and its subset, RadiCS LE are included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce MX270W.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on the acceptance criteria and study information for the EIZO RadiForce MX270W monitor.

Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical display monitor. As such, the "device" in question is the monitor itself, and the "acceptance criteria" relate to its technical performance for displaying medical images, not a diagnostic AI algorithm. Consequently, many of the requested data points related to AI models (like sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment for AI, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance) are not applicable to this type of medical device submission.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of an AI algorithm's test set. The "test set" here refers to individual monitors or a representative sample of monitors undergoing a series of bench tests. The document does not specify the number of monitors tested, but it implies standard manufacturing quality assurance and testing procedures.
  • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by the manufacturer, EIZO NANAO Corporation, in Japan, prior to the 510(k) submission. This is retrospective data from internal testing.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Not applicable. This submission is for a display monitor, not an AI diagnostic algorithm. Ground truth, in the context of AI, usually refers to definitive diagnoses by experts or pathology. For a monitor, the "ground truth" and acceptance criteria are based on established technical standards and guidelines (like DICOM GSDF, AAPM TG18, FDA guidance for FFDMM systems) that define acceptable display performance. No individual medical expert "established" ground truth in this context; instead, the criteria are defined by industry and regulatory bodies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. Since there's no "ground truth" in the AI sense established by multiple experts requiring adjudication, there is no adjudication method used. The tests are quantitative and objective measurements against predefined technical specifications.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for evaluating the impact of AI algorithms on human reader performance in diagnostic tasks. This submission is for a display monitor, which is a tool for viewing images, not an AI algorithm that assists in interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No, a standalone AI algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a monitor, not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Technical Standards and Guidelines: The "ground truth" for evaluating the RadiForce MX270W's performance is adherence to established technical specifications and industry standards for medical displays. These include:
    • DICOM GSDF (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine Grayscale Standard Display Function)
    • AAPM Task Group 18 (TG18) guidelines for "Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems"
    • FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: "Display Accessories for Full-Field Digital Mammography Systems - Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions" (specifically for chromaticity measurement).
    • Manufacturer's internal specifications and agreements with LCD panel suppliers for pixel defects.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This device is a monitor, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. As above, no training set for an AI algorithm is involved.

6. Device Description

The RadiForce MX270W is a color LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 2560 x 1440 pixels (3.7MP) with a pixel pitch of 0.233 mm.

Since factory calibrated display modes, each of which is characterized by a specific tone curve (including DICOM GSDF), a specific luminance range and a specific color temperature, are stored in lookup tables within the monitor, the tone curve is e.g. DICOM compliant regardless of the display controller used.

{1}------------------------------------------------

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including MX270W based on several QC guidelines. The RadiCS and its subset, RadiCS LE are included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce MX270W.

7. Intended Use

The RadiForce MX270W is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc. by trained medical practitioners. The device does not support the display of mammography images for diagnosis.

8. Technological Characteristics

The RadiForce MX270W can be said to have at least the same display performances as those of the predicate device by default due to the following reasons:

  • Both the matrix size and the active area size of the LCD panel used (2,560 x 1,440, a. 596.7 mm x 335.6 mm) are larger than those of the predicate device (1,600 x 1,200, 432.0 mm x 324.0 mm).
  • The smaller pixel pitch or pixel size (0.233 x 0.233 mm) than that of the predicate b. device (0.270 x 0.270 mm) means higher density usually resulting in higher quality of displayed images. If one cares about the smaller pixel size, the perceived pixel size similar to that of the predicate device can be realized easily by adjusting the viewing distance.
  • The DICOM calibrated luminance (170 cd/m2) is higher than that of the predicate C. device (150 cd/m2) though the typical maximum luminance values of the both devices are the same (300 cd/m2). The higher calibrated luminance to be maintained constantly was realized by the employment of LED backlight deteriorating more slowly than conventional CCFL backlights.
  • The LED backlight was newly employed instead of CCFL backlight because it is d. mercury-free, consumes less power and deteriorates more slowly. We have not recognized any adverse effects of the LED backlight on the quality of displayed images. Refer to section 18 "Performance Testing - Bench" where several image quality characteristics of the proposed device are compared with those of the predicate device.
  • The both devices display images in accordance with DICOM GSDF by default e. utilizing the factory calibrated display mode stored in lookup tables inside of them.
  • Analog video interface is not supported by the proposed device. The quality of f. displayed images is usually better via digital interfaces like DVI or DisplayPort than via analog ones.

As for the maintenance, the same QC software is used for the both devices and the implementation of the Backlight Sensor (BS) stabilizing the backlight is also the same.

{2}------------------------------------------------

As for built-in sensors, in addition to BS common to the both devices, MX270W has a Built-in Front Sensor (IFS). The IFS enables automatic grayscale calibration by measuring the luminance at the screen surface. Without IFS, the grayscale calibration process requires human intervention and the use of an external sensor. The accuracy data of the calibration with external sensors and that with the IFS is included in section 16.9 "Verification and Validation Documentation".

9. Performance Testing

The following bench tests were performed on the RadiForce MX270W :

  • . Verification of the conformance to DICOM GSDF as specified in Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems by AAPM Task Group 18 (TG18 guideline)
  • . Measurement of the luminance non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as specified in the TG18 guideline
  • Measurement of the chromaticity non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as . specified in the TG18 guideline
  • . Measurement of the chromaticity at the center of the display screen at 5%, 50% and 95% of the maximum luminance as specified in Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Display Accessories for Full-Field Digital Mammography Systems-Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions
  • . Visual check of presence or absence of miscellaneous artifacts on the display screen as specified in the TG18 guideline
  • . The maximum number allowed for each type of pixel defects/faults agreed with the manufacturer from which Eizo buys the LCD panels for RadiForce MX270W

The test results showed that the RadiForce MX270W has display performances substantially equivalence to those of the predicate device, RadiForce RS210. Besides, the display performances of the RadiForce MX270W meet the pre-defined criteria when criteria are set.

No animal or clinical testing was performed on the RadiForce MX270W.

10.Conclusion

The 3.7MP color LCD monitor, RadiForce MX270W is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to technical characteristics, performance, application and intended use. The specifications of the primary component employed by the proposed device are superior to those of the predicate device and other differences have been independently validated. Any differences between the devices do not affect safety or effectiveness.
